If the goal was a 100% duty cycle 1500W amp for $5000, then the answer why it wasn't produced, has been given. It's not going to happen by anyone, unless they like losing money.
"Was going to be half of that", are two different things. The "was" part didn't happen, and won't happen. Check the prices of the mosfets and power supply needed, and it will become obvious. Apha has the R&D money, but they haven't done a SS 1.5KW amp, because it isn't cost effective. Not only that, but why would anyone want an amp that would require 3 times the money to replace mosfets, as opossed to a ceramic tube, that will take a lot more abuse and be less prone to failure, and probably last a lifetime? Just the way it is...... <<<<<< Ah, I don't think so. They were going to be a little less than half that, if my memory serves me correctly.
